We provide specialist consultancy services for the residential sector in the following areas: Planning Applications; Planning Appeal; Planning Statements; Development Plan Representations; Housing Land Supply Assessments; Planning Appraisals; Site Promotion Documents; Discharge of Planning Conditions; Planning Compliance Statements; Community Consultation; Section 106 Negotiations; and Expert Witness for Planning Inquiries. CELEBRATING th 20 ANNIVERSARY
Galley Hill, Guisborough Residential Acting for Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) Ltd, ELG Planning promoted Land at Galley Hill, Guisborough for residential development. The site presented a number of planning challenges being located outside the development limits for Guisborough. ELG Planning successfully argued that the Council could not demonstrate a 5 year supply of housing land in accordance with the requirements of NPPF and that there were no adverse impacts resulting from the development. The application subsequently received a positive recommendation from officers but was refused on the principle of development by the Council s Planning Committee. ELG Planning acted for Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) Ltd on the subsequent Public Inquiry providing evidence on the principle of development and housing land supply along with providing an Expert Witness at the Inquiry. Outline planning permission was granted by the Secretary of State in line with the Inspector s recommendation in September 2013. ELG Planning were retained as planning consultants to assist with the reserved matters submission, which was subsequently approved in early 2014. Kneeton Park, Middleton Tyas ELG Planning secured an outline planning consent for upto 35 houses outside the settlement limits of Middleton Tyas in Richmondshire. The project team needed to overcome planning policy issues, flood risk and local objections. The scheme was supported by the Council following extensive community consultation and the project is expected to be started in 2016/17 once reserved matters approval has been obtained. Beachnut Place, Pontefract Planning permission was secured for 26 units on a brownfield site close to Pontefract train station. The scheme built out by Mandale Homes has proven exceptionally popular and is now completed and sold out.

Morley Carr Farm, Yarm Residential ELG Planning assisted Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) Ltd in achieving planning permission for 350 houses and associated open space on land at Yarm. The site was outside the limits to development for Yarm and was not identified in the emerging Regeneration & Environment LDD (site allocations) as a draft housing allocation. However, ELG identified that Stockton Borough Council had a shortfall of housing land in line with the requirements of the recently published NPPF and undertook a robust assessment of the housing land supply position in the Borough. ELG managed the outline planning application and, alongside Taylor Wimpey and the consultant team, addressed all the issues which arose during the course of the application, demonstrating that the benefits of the proposals were significant and that planning permission should be granted without delay. Outline planning permission was granted in 2012. Subsequently ELG were retained to deal with applications for the approval of reserved matters and also a number of Wynyard Village ELG Planning has secured planning permission for a number of new developments at Wynyard Village on behalf of the land owner Cameron Hall. The schemes granted consent included development in both the Hartlepool and Stockton Borough Council administrative areas.
Land South of Cayton Drive, Thornaby Residential On behalf of Mandale Homes, ELG Planning secured outline planning approval on appeal for residential development on Land South of Cayton Drive, Thornaby. The application was submitted in outline for up to 45 houses with ELG preparing the full range of planning related supporting reports and managing the other sub-consultants. The outline application was refused by the Council s Planning Committee. ELG Planning were instructed to prepare and submit an appeal to the Secretary of State. Through the Statement of Case, ELG were successfully able to demonstrate that the development of the site for residential dwellings would not have a detrimental impact on the wider Green Wedge and the Tees Heritage Park and that the scheme would deliver a number of material benefits. The appeal was allowed along with a full award of costs to Mandale Homes in March 2016. Berrymead Farm, Darlington ELG Planning undertook a Housing Land Supply Assessment for Darlington on behalf of a Consortium of housebuilders (Persimmon Homes, Taylor Wimpey and Northumbrian Land) to support the early release of Land at Berrymead Farm to the north of Darlington for residential development. The Assessment robustly demonstrated that the Council were unable to demonstrate a deliverable supply of housing land in accordance with the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework.

Rose Cottage Farm, Stainton, Middlesbrough Residential Acting for Taylor Wimpey (UK) Ltd and Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) Ltd we have promoted land at Rose Cottage Farm in Stainton to the south of Middlesbrough for residential development. As a practice we achieved planning permission for the first phase of development in 2012 following the resolution of strategic highways issues raised by the Highways Agency. Planning consent for phase 2 followed shortly afterwards. Both of these developments on greenfield land outside of the limits to development were justified on basis that the Council could not demonstrate a 5 year supply of deliverable housing land in accordance with the requirements of national planning policy. ELG successfully promoted the final phase through the Council s Housing Local Plan, attending the Examination in Public and securing an allocation in 2014. Detailed planning approval for the final phase was achieved in early 2016. The first two phases of development are nearing completion and it is understood that work on the third and final phase is likely to commence in early 2017. In total the Rose Cottage Farm development will deliver over 300 new 3 and 4 bed homes helping to meet the Council s aspirations to rebalance the housing stock within the Borough.
Ballard Hall, Sheffield Residential ELG Planning secured planning permission for the redevelopment of this former University site in central Sheffield. The topography of the site, its position within the conservation area, proximity to a listed building and a number of protected trees made delivering a suitable scheme very challenging. Planning permission was granted for the site and the scheme went on to win house builder awards after the scheme was completed in 2014. Wyvern Park, Skipton Acting for Henry Boot Developments, ELG Planning obtained outline planning approval for a mixed use development including 200 dwellings and 15 acres of employment land served by a new link road from the A692 Skipton Bypass at Wyvern Park, Skipton. ELG acted as lead consultant, which included briefing and managing specialist sub consultants, reviewing outputs, planning input into the Environmental Statement, preparation of planning related supporting reports, pre and post application negotiations with Craven District Council and other consultees, negotiation on conditions and S106 Legal Agreement. Outline planning approval was granted in March 2016 High Mill Farm, Scalby On behalf of Taylor Wimpey (North Yorkshire) Ltd, ELG Planning secured full planning permission in total for 148 houses on Land at High Mill Farm, Scalby. Despite already benefiting from detailed planning approval, the site was part of wider development and the applications presented a number of challenges in respect of design. ELG Planning ensured that the planning applications were approved in a timely manner to ensure Taylor Wimpey could progress the development in line with their construction programme.
